One couldn't even tell me who wrote Romeo and Juliet. *slaps forehead*
Language Arts was just watching Anne Frank. In which language? English? German? Although I think she spoke really more Dutch than German. *is not that well informed* What kind of class is that? Is it just about different languages? (We don't have stuff like that.)
It's our school's name for English. Complicated course names is the way our school tries to hide the fact that some of our teacher's don't know where Amsterdam is.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. She spoke Dutch, German and Yiddish fluently. It's a hollywood production, so they have actors doing crappy variations of a dutch-english accent.
Aaah ok. I really thought it had something to do with foreign languages...
Yes I thought so. But she wrote her diaries in dutch, didn't she? It's logical because she lived in Holland and her friends were Dutch and everything. I didn't know she spoke Yiddish though.
Yeah, she did. She was taught a little yiddish by her father, and she moved to Holland when she was nine, so, she had to have picked up a little German now and then :).
But remember, it's an American film, so all of the characters automatically have to speak English because the average American can't read subtitles. Realism for the sake of an audience. Most of the acting is good, however, and it's much better than what our class was reading aloud. Swear to god, I thank God that this is not as bad as the version that was read aloud.
